26 Jan '15

As I forwarded the initial announcement, I figured I had better forward this message too. Unfortunately, weather on the east coast is preventing Seth Lloyd from traveling to Chicago. His Wednesday talk is cancelled, although we are hoping to reschedule him the near future. -Dustin Begin forwarded message: From: dkleckner(a)uchicago.edu<mailto:[email protected]> Reply-To: dkleckner(a)uchicago.edu<mailto:[email protected]> Date: January 26, 2015 at 11:15:17 AM CST To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: [comp-in-sci] Quantum algorithms for machine learning and big data analysis, Seth COMPUTATIONS IN SCIENCE SEMINAR Jan 28 Wed 12:15 Seth Lloyd, MIT Quantum algorithms for machine learning and big data analysis Machine-learning tasks frequently involve problems of manipulating and classifying large numbers of vectors in high-dimensional spaces. Quantum computers are good at manipulating high-dimensional vectors in large tensor product spaces. This talk shows how quantum computers can provide an exponential speed-up over their classical counterparts for a variety of problems in machine learning and big data analysis.

I just heard that the Tuesday talk to the JFI (same title) is cancelled. Since I am assuming that this is because there is an epic blizzard hitting the Northeast I am betting this talk is cancelled as well. Too bad. I was hoping Quantum computing would solve all my problems… -Carolyn On Jan 26, 2015, at 1:05 AM, Foster, Ian T. <foster(a)anl.gov> wrote: > Looks like an interesting talk! > >> Begin forwarded message: >> > > > <comp_in_sci-2015-01-28.pdf> > > [Sent to announce(a)mcs.anl.gov.] > > _______________________________________________ > Subscription to this list is automatic based on your appointment in the MCS division.

Free Ice Melt
by Bales, Kristyn D. 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

To help prevent winter slips, trips, and falls, Argonne's FMS Division is making available free personal bags of ice melt to all Divisions for use on icy patches they may encounter on site. ecoTRACTION XT is an ecofriendly salt alternative made of volcanic minerals that is both animal and vegetation safe. Stop by cubicle 4.C.7 to meet with the new ESH Coordinator, Kristyn Bales, and to pick up a bag of ice melt.
